Same is true anywhere. You can do that until they figure it out and terminate your service.

Giving yourself a little bump will probably go unnoticed, but if you get wild with the tweaking, they'll cut you off.
RR turbo northeast ohio
pretty pathethic..upload.. sigh nothing else is available locally thats faster though.
Need more upstream for remote desktop-- boo.
In real use I usually get 1.8-2.2 from most websites that have enough bandwidth.. or if im lucky like last night I got 2.4MB/sec from steam downloading Left for dead 2 (on sale 6 dollars)
oh and everyone should retest with germantown WI if you are remotely close it gives higher results.. than toledo etc for me(translation: that server has mega bandwidth available)
for instance here is the "RECOMMENDED" test
I did that one 5mins after the other one....

Just installed a router and it cut down my speed about 3 megs. No big deal..it went from 21 to 18 down. Up is still 4+
With my wireless Netbook in the family room (business news on TV):
From my hardwired desktop:
I noticed that when I turned off the wireless signal (even though I'm hardwired) I don't get episodes of slower downloads. I suspect I had a neighbor stealing my stuff.
I just can't bring myself to use wireless.

I have the lowest (slowest) service @ 3Mb/s down, but I don't watch movies or stream video. Plus, I pay only $15/mo. for ATT dsl. It dropped to ~ 300kb/s until I figured out my old router was at fault. My ping is a bit high though. . .

New results.. a bit faster down than when I first posted in this thread.

Ha! I eat the internet for lunch...at least for downloads.

What brand/model of router?
